    ES loses interest rate

    ?..... I believe "losing the interest rate" is offset by the price difference between the deferred contract and the spot contract. If the ES were to "sit still" for 3 months, December would be expected to rally from ~1654.75 up to the current, September contract, spot price, ~1661.25. That gain...

    1) What if there had been a "domino effect" of other "connections" that failed as a result of being overloaded with data, innocently or deliberately, that potentially could have created another "Flash Crash"? :confused: 2) Speaking as a "futures junkie", the "fragmented nature" of the stock...

    why ZT drops almost nothing,ZB larger

    1) The 2-year note is more closely "anchored" to FED monetary policy at the front-end of the yield curve. :) 2) The bonds, at the back-end of the yield curve, aren't anchored in the same way. They can go up OR down as much as they want. :cool: 3) The bond market can be discounting a "tapering"...

    0) You still gotta be kidding!.....How "relevant" do I have to be? I made six, count'em, six logical/rational points. Do I have to "dumb it down" for you? :confused: 1) I'm slightly "guilty" of eliciting/feeding your belief regarding piggybacking. How can I not understand it? :confused: 2)...

    a comparison of moving averages ... and introducing a new one.

    1) What does it mean for a moving average to be "best"? :confused: 2) The smooth average should keep you in trades "longer" because it is not as sensitive to more recent price data compared to the other types of moving averages that can get shaken out of positions faster because of price...

    1) That's a mathematical "deception". Arithmetically, it seems easiest to pass because of its "lower" profit goal. :eek: 2) You're underestimating how "close and near" the daily and overall loss limits are with the 30K. When you become funded, the weekly loss limit becomes another "burden" too...

    1) By doing the 10-day instead of the 20-day, you get it over and done with faster. You have to have a "willingness" to be more aggressive, sooner, if you fall behind the average daily profit pace. :cool: 2) People who focus on the lesser "average profit per day" of the 20-day might have less...
